This year's was aged 12 months and 13 days in tequila-finished Templeton Rye barrels. These barrels started as bourbon barrels before aging tequila and then were brought back to the States to finish some Templeton Rye before making it to us to age stout.

Bottle with membership group. Opaque dark brown, nice viscosity, ring of head. Aroma is earthy malt, light smoke, subtle rye and tequila. Taste is earthy, smoky malt, rye a little higher in the mix, tequila still pretty restrained. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste with huge alcohol warmth in the esophagus (a bit much) and a smidge in the nose, but no other sign of alcohol. Was dreading a tequila bomb (not my favorite) but they did a nice job of using it as a highlight.

500 ml bottle from our membership. # 67/720. Aroma is mild tequila, roasted malt. Mils smoke. Flavor follow. Templeton rye up front roasted malted backbone. Very mild smoky finish. Alcohol is yet again masked. Really nice!
